Donald Trump Fat Shames Miss Universe Alicia Machado

In last night's presidential debate, Hillary Clinton took no prisoners when it came to calling out Donald Trump for fat shaming and name calling women in the media. She specifically referenced one woman who has personally been at the receiving end of Trump's barbs: former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado.

"This is a man who has been calling women pigs, slobs, and dogs and someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers, who has said that women don't deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men," Hillary said on the debate stage. "And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest—he loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them—and he called this woman 'Miss Piggy,' then he called her 'Miss Housekeeping' because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name. Her name is Alicia Machado. And she has become a U.S. citizen and you can bet she is going to vote this November."

Alicia, who competed as Miss Venezuela, was crowned Miss Universe in 1996, when Trump owned the Miss Universe pageant. After she was crowned, however, Trump claimed she gained more than 40 pounds; CNN and People at the time reported that instead of forcing her to give up her crown, Trump encouraged her to lose weight—and he invited reporters to watch her work out.

Alicia recently appeared in an ad for Hillary's campaign, in which she recounts her ordeal.

She also said that the experience caused her to develop an eating disorder.

Following the debate, Alicia tweeted her support for Hillary and thanked her for standing up for women. "Thank you Mrs @HillaryClinton for your respect for women and our differences make you great! I'm with you!" she wrote on Twitter in Spanish. She also tweeted a photo of herself with her U.S. passport and declared her intentions to vote.

Then, less than 24 hours after the debate, when Trump called into Fox and Friends, he again talked about Alicia's weight gain and called her "impossible."

"I know that person. That person was a Miss Universe person," Trump said on the morning show. "And she was the worst we ever had, the worst, the absolute worst, she was impossible," he said. "She gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem. We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude. We had a real problem with her. Hillary went back into the years, and she found this girl. This was many years ago. She found the girl and talked about her like she was Mother Teresa. It wasn’t quite that way. That’s OK. Hillary has to do what she has to do."

Candidate for president or not, body shaming anyone is never OK. After all, what a person does with their body is their business alone. And if any person gains weight, that shouldn't disqualify them for any job—even the title of Miss Universe—and it's certainly no one else's "problem" to fix. Frankly, no man has the authority to tell any woman, or person for that matter, otherwise—so Donald, stay in your own lane.
